Coaches don’t like to deal in hypotheticals. They like to deal in realities.
But the hypothetical of the Nevada football team beating a ranked Arizona was something I posed to Wolf Pack coach Brian Polian this week. Just what would that mean to the team, beyond a 2-0 record?
“There’s no doubt if we were to win a game against a ranked opponent, which has happened around here before, this is no uncharted territory, there’s no doubt it would be a confidence booster,” he said.
It also could be a season-changer, much like how Nevada’s early-season win over No.
